N5183B MXG X-Series Microwave Analog Signal Generator

Key Features and Functions

  • Get a fast, compact (2U) alternative to the PSG in the lab, depot or field
  • Address demanding tests of radar modules & systems with near-PSG levels of spectral purity
  • Compensate for system loss & drive high-power amplifiers: +19 dBm output power, -55 dBc harmonics & -68 dBc spurious @ 20 GHz
  • Reduce calibration time with switching speed 600 µs
  • Simulate narrowband chirps & radar antenna scans with up to five internal function generators that can be used with AM, FM, OM pulse modulation
